Optimized Circle Time Space

Help me give my students a calm and comfortable space for group learning.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Shana's classroom raised $1,144

My Project

My special education preschool students are learning at a foundational time for education. They are building skills and experiences that will encourage a life long love of learning. Help give them a calm, comfortable, yet engaging space for group learning times including circle time. The new area rug will help ground my students to the space and allow me to place them in the best possible learning space during large groups. The flexible seating will help support some of my students while others will be excited to sit on a colorful circle. The binder shelf will give us the much needed space for our adaptive daily work binders. The mad matter will fill our sensory table with a new and exciting sensory experience.
